We can add a Time Control in DataGridview to give an option to user to put only time in any particular cell.
Add Custom control in your project and Inherit it From DataGridViewColumn
Make CalendarCell Class your main class because we will use more than one class in this File
public GridTimeControl(): base()
{
base.CellTemplate = new CalendarCell1();
}
Override CellTemplate property So then we can set Cell in data Grid View.
public override DataGridViewCell CellTemplate
{
get
{
return base.CellTemplate;
}
set
{
if (!((value == null)) && !(value.GetType().IsAssignableFrom(typeof(CalendarCell1))))
{
throw new InvalidCastException("Must be a CalendarCell");
}
base.CellTemplate = value;
}
}
public class CalendarCell1 : DataGridViewTextBoxCell
{
public CalendarCell1()
{
this.Style.Format = "hh:mm tt";
}
public override void InitializeEditingControl(int rowIndex, object initialFormattedValue, DataGridViewCellStyle dataGridViewCellStyle)
{
// Set the value of the editing control to the current cell value.
base.InitializeEditingControl(rowIndex, initialFormattedValue, dataGridViewCellStyle);
CalendarEditingControl1 ctl = (CalendarEditingControl1)DataGridView.EditingControl;
if (this.RowIndex >= 0)
{
if ((!object.ReferenceEquals(this.Value, DBNull.Value)))
{
if (this.Value != null)
{
if (this.Value != string.Empty)
{
try
{
ctl.Value = DateTime.Parse(this.Value.ToString());
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
}
}
}
}
}
}
public override System.Type EditType
{
get
{
return typeof(CalendarEditingControl1);
}
}
public override System.Type ValueType

{

}
public override object DefaultNewRowValue

Inheri Datetime Picker with class CalendarEditingControl
